Route planner

[bopjesvla]

• "Plan a route" button next to "Add a spot"
• Use the crosshairs to get the starting point and end point
• Highlight all relevant spots (move to front, turn black border orange?), show those spots' destination lines

A spot is relevant if at least 1 person hitchhiked from the spot to a location closer to the end point. Additionally, the spot should either be between the starting point and the end point or the distance between the starting point and the spot should be <10% of the distance between the end point and the spot (to account for the possibility of backtracking).

[bopjesvla]

• Global variable: activeSpots. Active spots have a different border and show destination lines
• When a spot is clicked, show on sidebar, make active (unless route is showing)
• When a route is shown, make all relevant spots active
• function closeRoute, when route is closed or add a spot is clicked

TODOs:

Think about a more user friendly presentation of the route(s). Maybe the underlying algorithm has to change.

Great thing: around 08/2024 there is a lot of kind ground truth route advice in the hitchwiki chat.

Agreed

Might be worth posting here
